Experience our exclusive Breath Ceremony Package, a transformative journey designed to help you reconnect with your authentic self through the power of breath. This unique package includes three themed sessions, each crafted to address different aspects of emotional and physical well-being. Join us in a safe and nurturing space as Jan and Arne guide you through these deeply enriching experiences.
1. Freeing the Voice - 27/9
Our voice is one of the most important channels for expressing what is happening within us.Often this has been inhibited in childhood. We learned to limit the expression of our emotions to please our educators. What was a survival strategy as a child can become a hindrance as an adult. Many people live with the feeling of a clenched throat or feel a crop of unspoken sadness there and have difficulty raising their voice or being heard.
This session provides a safe and nurturing space where you can rediscover with others the joy of self-expression. In a transformative three-hour journey, we will guide you step by step to release tensions and blockages in your throat and jaws, to use your voice from a space of empowerment and express what is alive within you. Through conscious exercises and carefully designed movements, you will have the opportunity to free your breath to release physical and emotional blockages.
When you can breathe and speak freely again, you will discover a renewed power to connect with others and engage in genuine dialogue.
2. Heart Reconnection - 8/11
In our lives, we all experience moments of pain and heartache that cause us to build protective barriers around our hearts. While these emotional defence mechanisms (for example through breath control) once helped us feel less pain, in later life they compromise our ability to truly and deeply connect with ourselves and others.
In this breath ceremony, we will guide you step by step through a transformative three-hour journey designed to help you reconnect with your heart - the true source of love.Through mindful exercises and breath work, you will have the opportunity to release physical and emotional blockages.
This session is a safe and nurturing space where you can rediscover the joy of loving yourself, embracing others and experiencing the beauty of life.
3. Activating Life Force - 13/12
Due to the many challenges we experience in our lives, we can gradually lose our natural strength. Our vitality resides in the lower chakras. However, many people are blocked in their pelvis. The pelvis also has a memory, to use a strong example, in case of abuse.
So if we want to regain our natural vitality, it is important to loosen up our pelvis again.It is no coincidence, then, that in many cultures there is dancing from the pelvis to evoke a state of joy and enthusiasm.
In this group breathing session, we focus specifically on releasing blockages in the lower part of our body. Through movement and dance, we reconnect our sensuality with our heart and head. You will have the opportunity to express your power and perhaps your anger.
We offer a safe space in which you can move and breathe. In this way you can release what is stuck and reconnect with your inner fire. The result is a sense of aliveness that you may not have felt for a long time.
· Arriving and grounding: Through and short guided meditation you can connect with yourself and the space.
· Group connection: During the opening circle, we make space to get acquainted with each other and share intentions. We open the space for the ceremony.
· Discussion of method and theme: We go deeper into the topic of the evening and give some tips to support the breath circle.
· Preparatory exercises: Specific exercises to energetically connect and activate throat/heart/pelvis.
· Breath Circle: Harnessing the power of collective breath work, traveling through resistance and opening to more freedom.
· SharingCircle: Reflection, connection and meaningful conversations during a closing circle (sharing is optional). We provide some snacks and tea and close the ceremony.

As humans, we like to identify with the most recent part of our brain, the neo cortex. However, one might argue that our day to day experiences are at least as much influenced by the mechanisms of our mammalian brain that processes our emotions and of the reptilian brain, that is amongst other things responsible for our survival through governing our fight, flight and freeze responses, a function of our autonomous nervous system.
For animals in the wild, the fight/flight/freeze responses are indispensable assets, as it enables them to respond efficiently to situations that threaten their lives. For humans though, the interruption of the natural flow of this responses causes a lot of side effects that have a debilitating effect on our daily functioning.
Now how does this work?
When an animal encounters danger, a large amount of hormones an neurotransmitters are released, that in their turn cause a number of physiological changes to occur.Our heart rate increases, the blood pressure increases, breathing rate accelerates, muscles become more tensed, we start sweating, digestion is put on a halt, ... all serving to heighten out chances of survival. Once the danger has subsided, animals typically shake off the excess energy and return to a state of calm.This natural discharge of stress ensures that their nervous system resets, preventing the accumulation of chronic tension.
For humans, however, it’s a whole different story. Our modern lives, tons of unavoidable stressors(traffic, bills that can’t be paid, an argument with your partner, office stress, loud noises, ...) trigger these responses, but societal norms discourage physical reactions like running or fighting, resulting in a lack of physical outlet. In other words, the natural process is interrupted. When the energy isn’t discharged, it is stored in the body through muscular tensions. Blocked energy in the body tissues manifests itself in the form of restricted breathing patterns, self-limiting beliefs, blocked emotional expression and muscular tensions, all resulting in a disconnectedness from self. We experience this asa lack of energy, stress and anxiety, helplessness, motivational issues, negative thought flows and all kinds of psychosomatic disorders.
With deep connected breathing, the breathing method we apply in our ceremonies, we can re-activate these old parts and awaken the stored up energy. This can express itself in a myriad of ways, like a feeling of pressure on the chest, a warm shoulder, constrictions in the diaphragm, warm legs, a cold upper body, a throat that feels restricted,... Through our felt sense (with which we feel things inside our body, for example hunger), we can track this energetical activity.Subsequently, we use movement, touch, emotional expression to free up and release the energy and thus complete the fight/flight/freeze activation. The energetical blockages resolve and our energy can flow freely again, resulting in more energy, a feeling of wholeness, connectedness, self-love and deep relaxation
